Pictures
from our wedding day
I completely enjoyed our wedding. Everything went well and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. Here are some pictures. I totally forgot to get a really good picture of my bouquet, which was absolutely gorgeous. I don't have the professional ones back yet, but these are some that guests took. There are hundreds more on our snapfish account, if you're interested in seeing them, let me know and I will give you the username and password. It was a great day, but it went by so fast and I am looking forward to getting the video from my aunt to see what actually happened. LOL.

Yellow It's here! OMG
   
It's here!
OMG
You know how they say that if the dress rehearsal of a play has a bunch of bumps that opening night goes smoothly? Let's just hope that holds true for weddings as well. It will be such a relief to have everything over with. I am so ready for the honey moon!

Wedding Reception
It's finalized!!!
Wow, with barely over a week left until the wedding, I just emailed my coordinater my final head count! Oh wow, it's almost here and getting so very very real! My very bestest friend and MOH gets in on Wednesday from Germany! Everytime I think about it, I get a little butterfly belly flip!

We are getting a refund from the venue because we paid for 100 adults and only 91 adults are coming! Gotta love that!

Ask a Question
Which look?
So I was playing around today and I'm asking for some opinions. Which eye do you like more? The natural eye is to your right, my left eye, and the more dramatic eye is to your left, my right eye. Browns were used for the natural, and purples were used for the dramatic. Which do you think photographs better? Which would you go for?

(side note) don't mind my blotchy skin and fug hair. It was a really long day.
question, makeup, eyes

I am looking for yellow polka dot tissue paper. I can't find it ANYWHERE! I can find Green polka dots, but I want both yellow and green for our favor boxes. Can anyone reccomend any good sites where I might find some? Not much time left and I might have to scrap this idea.

3 weeks!
Exactly!!!
In exactly 3 weeks, I will be married. Yay! I'm getting so excited!!!

I finally got FH's butt in gear. We went last night and picked out his vest, and ordered the GM stuff on ebay. We decided that FH will wear the vest and long tie, and the GM and RB will wear a cummerbund and bow tie. This way, since they are all wearing the same tux, FH will stand out even more.

Hair appointments are booked. I am ready to do this!

Too too much
I'm starting to stress
Wow. We have a little over 3 weeks left to go and I am starting to stress. I have done pretty much everything for this wedding all by myself. FH has helped with some of my ideas, such as helping with the making some of the DIY items, but what I need him to do NOW, is not getting done. He still needs one of his groomsmen's measurements. Another groomsman still hasn't told us if he is coming or not. I doubt it, but that means he needs to get his brother in law on the team and his measurements done. We still don't have vests for the guys. I mentioned this to him last Friday, and still he hasn't made an effort. Do I have to do everything! I don't want to keep harping on this and cause him to get upset, but come on!

Today was the RSVP day. Yes ladies, I haven't heard from about 34 people yet. We have a good turn out so far though. 94 are coming. I'm guessing maybe 10 more at the most. But that's a pretty good turn out. How hard is it to check a box, fill out your name and stick something in the mailbox though?

One of my BM's had to drop out due to getting laid off, so I asked another friend of mine to do it and she is looking forward to it. We went and got her dress last week. Another BM got her dress in 2 days ago, my last BM and I are going shopping Monday. My MOH is in Germany and gets in the Wednesday before and we are going shopping on the Thursday before the wedding. I'm not worried about finding her something. There is an awesome dress shop here that has every dress color imaginable and in a LOT of sizes.

My dress will be ready April 12th. I got super lucky with that. It fit like a glove except for the shoulders which are getting altered now. Weirdly enough, my dress fits me better without spanx than with them.... I wonder why that is...

I have been tanning for a couple of weeks now. I'm starting to get some color to me. I will never be one to get super tan, but I have a glow now. I don't think I will keep doing it after this though.

We joined a gym last week. We have been going faithfully and I like it so far. I guess that will be my new obsession once the wedding is over. I am looking forward to getting in shape finally. I've been chubby most of my life and now I have the drive and determination to do something about it.

I booked my hair appointment. I go for my consult the Monday before the wedding.

I still need to get my rubber chicken, put together the kiddie bags, favor boxes and BM gifts. We need to meet with the photographer soon and go over things with him. I have to make my scrolls for my snapfish idea. But otherwise, besides the things that FH needs to do, that's about it.

I hope it all gets done!

Guess what we got?
It's getting official
We went and got our marriage license today. It was a very pleasant experience. I think it took about 15 minutes total and the lady was super nice. 24 days to go!!!

Question for non US brides
This is totally NWR, but my brain works in mysterious ways and I had a question.

In the US, we use the name Doe, like John Doe if it's someone that can't be identified. I was just curious what a person like that was called in your country and which country it is.

Darn those late night mystery crime novels....

Shoes
Who was looking for these?
I remember seeing a post a little while back about someone looking for some plain white flip flops with a cloth top part. Well, I found some, and I bought them. They were at KMart for $10 and are joe boxer. Super comfy and I'm going to bling them out. Hope whoever it was looking for them sees this post, cause I didn't fave it and it wasn't tagged under shoes.

Yellow
Apple green and Buttercup yellow. I kind of have a polka dot theme going on. It all spread out from the cake I designed. A LOT of homemade crafty things involved with the decor and favors and such. Hoping Everything goes smoothly.
